Got Poetry?

[starcrossed]

Hello P12!...Love is a very difficult matter to understand, but we never control it. It is a wild creature, meant to be free...That is why passion can come from it.

When I was young I thought that you could try to make someone love you, and now...Well, I realize that that is not reality.

Love is or isn't meant to be. If I am to be loved it will be for who I am, not who they want me to become. Moreover, I would not ask that who I love change for me. If we loved eachother...then it would just work. All issue's would be worked out and we would grow as a partnership together. Problems might happen (no relationship is perfect), but it would still 'work'. Who knows...I am a romantic.

Blood River

Blood river calls from my soul.

Lost to what you have made me.

Can't find my words.

So lost in this world.

I hate you.

This suffering I do not deserve!

Why did you vow to love me?

Now you beat me.

Make me die a brutal death,
With every punch of your fist.

Silence in the echo of rapture...
A life that never existed.

We had no love,
I was just a trophy to show off.

Rip me to pieces...

Tear me apart...

This is my nightmare.

Why has it come this far?!

The world doesn't understand.

As if I wish to endure.

So I hide the bruises,
And you learn to hit my body instead of my face...
If this continues will I end up dead in a early grave.

Where do I go when I have no place to stay?...

What do I do when I have no money to run away?...

How do I ask for help when all I hear,
Is that anyone who comes near you will pay so dear?

So the world can blame me...
For as long as I stay.

Yet it is not my fault..
How can they point at my pain?

You tell me I am nothing,
And I continue with your game.

Wake up!!!

I one day see the light!

Forget my fear,
I need to find my life!

Died with my past.

Died with all the fear.

I can't live in this blood river,
When a new life is so near.

I need to run free,
Even if I have nothing left.

I need to save me,
Before I face a real death.

I deserve a life free from hate!

Away from the grave,
That he has placed my life within.

Crave life.

Crave love.

Free away from this torture he claims is love.

Can't wait any longer...
My soul can see.

This blood river...
A current of abuse...
It is no longer going to be a part of me.

Star, I am sorry, but it would be irresponsible for me to read "Blood River" and not ask if it is about you.
If it is, please know there are places you can go for help & safety.
Your words paint a terrifying picture which nobody should experience.

[starcrossed]

Thank you Shawna and P12.

I am glad to have a friend like you P12, but this is not about me anymore. It was...a long time ago. I was in an abusive relationship both physically and emotionally. I know the fear and pain all to well first hand. I got out. I saved myself and my son.

To be honest, I have come to terms with what has happened for a long time and I can talk about it. I woud never wish that pain on anyone else...it is like death. You fear every moment and you do not know how to break free. If it was as simple as leaving...but, it never was. You fear for those you love...and then you don't know what to do anymore.

My life is far different now. The person you see before you is far different now. Thank you for asking.

RJ, Iwo, Star -thanks.
P12- thank you. I am familiar with that piece but thank you for the link. I had not read it in a very long time, so it was a joy to read it again.

I wrote this to counter my last sad post...Think happy thoughts!

Kiss The Rain

Walk out into the vast new world...

The rain is coming down in a steady pace.

You don't need to rush,
This is not a race.

Just take a moment,
To take it all in.

I see you standing there.

In a doorway...
Without a care.

I walk toward your direction,
Stand so close to you.

I don't care what the world thinks...
This is who I am.

Take me slowly...

Take me now...

Into your world,
Among the clouds.

You are an angel,
So much more than a man.

I need to be with you,
Catch me if you can.

Honey come to me...
Kiss the rain.

Forget tomorrow,
Love me in the rain.

Don't care who knows me...
Or what they say...
Take a moment and kiss the rain.

Our hearts are beating.

You know my name.

I know yours too.

But this is not a game,
I want to be with you...
Far from the pain.

Find direction.

Come my way.

No need to fight it,
Let's kiss the rain.

Honey come to me...
Kiss the rain.

Forget tomorrow,
Love me in the rain.

Don't care who knows me...
Or what they say...
Take a moment and kiss the rain.

I stopped running so long ago,
But I need hear you say it,
I need to know.

Do you want me?

That's alright.

Even if it is just for this moment,
We can make it right.

Honey come to me...
Kiss the rain.

Forget tomorrow,
Love me in the rain.

Don't care who knows me...
Or what they say...
Take a moment and kiss the rain.

Forget tomorrow...
Forget tomorrow...
Honey come kiss the rain.

SONIC SOUL
__________

He raised his hands in the air...so he could feel the love that was there.

The sea of love came rolling back to him with every note he sang.

Their energy charged his soul and that put him into leaps of joyful flight.

Embracing the love he felt that night...he thanked them with his smile the shown through his eyes of crystal sea foam blue.

They would forever be in tune..through the heart..soul and the mind.

Star I love happy thoughts and I love your poems.

I logged in tonight to post something I wrote a while back but got caught in your writing...

This suffering I do not deserve

One day I will see the light

Let the light shine upon you always and forever warm your face

you have been a light for me Star...thankyou

[jet]

This is something I wrote awhile back...dreaming as I am want to do.

Stare

The silence as he stares

deafens you with all he says

echoing in your head

secret promises that you are his

if only for that moment

when his gaze meets yours

standing before him

in the crowd of adoring fans

eye to eye

in this moment

you are lost

and you are his



...seems my dream is about to come true...

[starcrossed]

Shawna 'Sonic Soul' is Great!!! I am happy that you are posting your works to share. Thank you for reading my work and enjoying them. I always enjoy your works as well.

Shawna,

Your creative spirit is spreading it's wings...let it fly.

Dream

Forget all those feelings...

Lost in a nightmare,
Calling out to the night with your silent screams.

You can't live your life,
Trapped in regret.

Listen to my words...
I have been there.

I can't say that I blame you.

A commotion of thoughts running through you head,
Body tossing aimlessly on your bed.

They place too many demands,
As your body is covered in a layer of sweat.

They have no time.

And never will wait.

Don't let them break you...
This is your dream to make.

Take a breath,
Fall right in...

Past your fears...

Fall farther now...
Until you are safe within.

Dream of me...

I stand by your side,

And shall be your guide.

I have no cares.

Have nothing to hide.

Live my life open wide.

I am stronger,
And will stand to fight.

Dream of me...

I live inside.

Under all the darkness the world has set in,
I am the shadow in the light.

You can't see me,
But I make your heart take flight.

A kindred spirit,
Who shares your pain.

I am you,
Without a name.

So fall past the nightmares...
Into a world you can create.

Never let them break you.

Never forget that you can change your fate.

You can't please the world...
If you try that is a mistake.

You have to trust that this life is yours to control.

Only you can decide what is best for your soul.

Take a breath,
Fall right in...

Past your fears...

Fall farther now...
Until you are safe within.

Dream of me...

I stand by your side,

And shall be your guide.

I have no cares.

Have nothing to hide.

Live my life open wide.

I am stronger,
And will stand to fight.

Dream of me...

I live inside.

Under all the darkness the world has set in,
I am the shadow in the light.

You can't see me,
But I make your heart take flight.

A kindred spirit,
Who shares your pain.

I am you,
Without a name.

Celebrate Tonight

If we just have one moment together,
What would we do?

Let us not think about tomorrow...
Or dwell on what if.

Let's just celebrate tonight.

We have spent a lifetime in two worlds.

Have felt the torment of being apart for too long.

We have cried all our tears,
In our sadness...

It is time for us to forget.

We can stay here,
And we can just hold each other.

We will be okay.

We may not be given another moment,
But now we have this single day.

Let's celebrate tonight.

Forget the days that have passed.

Forget the storms that once filled our hearts.

Leave behind the boundaries that surround real lives...
Just celebrate far from the sorrow.

Let's celebrate tonight.

[Sunflower Gypsy]

Amazing SC!! Loved Dream and Let's Celebrate poems!
The flow and glow of your poems really speak to universe and to all of us here. Thanks for always sharing your amazing work. I'll get a hopping on some more from me...your one poem ahead me

Take Care

RIVER OF DREAMS
________________

Flowing through her mind thoughts of him and life without him and remembering his last words to her..."think of me when you dream...because in your dreams you will feel me always."

As the river cascaded over powder grey rocks....doves filled the skies above and tears began to flow from her emerald green eyes of peace.

This tears were of love and of sorrow....feeling sleep sneak it's way back into her fair skinned body...she drifted off to dreamland.

His towering soul cast it's shadow over her sleeping body...as he watched her sleep...he placed his fingertip upon her sleeping face and kissed her so gently...without stirring her angelic soul.

Suddenly flashes of him consumed her dreams...she could see him and her sleeping body could feel him with her. Her body weeped with love and heartfelt memories of their life together.

Barefoot and running through the fields of lavender...she tried to catch him but the more she ran...his image began to fade away from her mind's eye.

Her smiles turned to sadness and of heart felt ache for the love and friendship they had when they were young.

Then she felt his tender lips upon her forehead and she felt at ease...it felt so real to her...like he was laying right beside her.

As she cast her hand on the other side of the bed...she was hoping to find his sleeping body...BUT then she remembered that he would not be there with her...as the flight of angels had taken him from her 3 years ago.

As the tears flowed like a river of dreams that filled her head...she suddenly felt at ease and the love she had for him would live within her heart and spirit for as long as she thought of him.

[starcrossed]

Good morning Shawna. Very nice...
